Emaar Retail to open Armani/Casa store

Armani/Casa, the home furnishing division of Giorgio Armani, will make its first appearance in the UAE with a flagship store at The Dubai Mall, in an exclusive partnership with Emaar Retail, the wholly-owned subsidiary of Emaar Malls Group.

The store will open on October 30.

The collaboration will see the luxury Armani/Casa brand open stores across the UAE region with the first at The Dubai Mall, one of the world's largest shopping and lifestyle destinations. Personally designed by world-renowned fashion designer Giorgio Armani, furniture, accessories, fabrics, ornaments and lighting make up the Armani/Casa product collection while the catalogue also includes modular bathroom arrangements and kitchen systems.

The underlying concept behind the Dubai Armani/Casa store is to create a distinctive atmosphere through a combination of products that range from furniture and furnishings to accessories, décor and fabrics – for day, night zones and for the kitchen – carefully selected for their compatibility in terms of shape, material and colour, all within a bright but softly lit environment.

Operating in 45 countries with a retail network of 80 dedicated stores, Armani/Casa has an emphasis on creating a stylish yet functional living space. The flagship store at The Dubai Mall will also have an interior design and consultancy service to advise customers through the entire process – from making informed purchasing decisions to installing and furnishing the home.

Yousif Al Ali, General Manager, The Dubai Mall said: "The Dubai Mall has some of the world's finest names in retail across various sectors. The opening of the first Armani/Casa in the UAE at The Dubai Mall, a world-renowned furnishing and accessories brand, highlights the highest standards of retailing that The Dubai Mall pursues."
